In addition to Chiropractic care and adjustments, here are some other services offered to enhance quality of life and aid in lifestyle changes and wellness.
Well Pregnancy Care
During pregnancy there is rapid growth and development of the fetus, hormonal changes, pelvic spinal ligament laxity and shifts in weight-bearing structures which results in many women developing back pain. Dr. Susan is certified in and utilizes the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant women that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances the pelvic muscles and ligaments, which can offer relief from discomfort and pain while also facilitating the mother's overall good health. Prenatal chiropractic care effectively removes torsion of the uterus in the expectant mother and this then allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Well pregnancy care has the benefit of promoting easier birth and optimal health benefits for both mother and newborn. Research indicates that women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy often have less discomfort during delivery and can experience reduced labor time.

Healthy Baby and Children
The birth process can be very traumatic to a newborn (whether it is C-section or not), especially to the neck and those structures attaching head, neck and shoulders. Misalignments that occur can have adverse effects on the child's nervous system and development. Pediatric chiropractic care provides an effective preventative maintenance for infants and children, ensuring proper nervous system function and vital motion as the child grows and develops.

Nutrition
Vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements play a crucial role in health and wellness and optimal body functioning. Recommendations are an important facet in chiropractic care and restoration of alignment and health, and Dr. Susan makes suggestions based on the individual.
Dr. Susan has been utilizing NutraMetrix supplements because of the great isotonic delivery system which results in a higher rate of absorption of nutrients. These supplements are in powder form, which eliminates taking numerous pills and capsules, and they mix with water to make a delicious, great tasting drink which is preferable and much easier for many people to ingest.
There is also a cutting edge Genetic Evaluation of one’s health status with regard to a number of areas affected by lifestyle and diet/nutrition, called the Gene SNP. This test is a DNA screening analysis, and gives customized and individualized recommendations regarding supplementation, lifestyle changes, dietary suggestions and more that will improve the status of health for the individual. We are each unique in our DNA, and therefore have individualized, specific nutritional needs which are identified by this screening using a simple, painless cheek swab.
